The first half of this video is home movies of Marino throwing during something called Dolphins Family Day.
The second half of this video is a news reel about the quarterback position battle between David Woodley and some rookie named Dan Marino.
The entire video is all Awesome 80s! Mullets! Perms! Short-shorts! Shitty ball caps! You bet!
And holy fuck, the fans were right on the sidelines with nothing to protect them from an errant pass or a Clydesdale-like clomping Joe Rose!
Pretty neat little time capsule to look at. It's interesting to see how even in 1983, good training camp performances didn't mean dick ("Woodley was very sharp in the seven-on-seven drills yesterday!"). Also, the interview with Woodely at the end is pretty neat considering how shit went down.
"Look at the crowd around David Woodley! They had the blitz on him all afternoon! Hope he didn't have to write so much, he'd damage that right arm."
Yea, it'd be a real shame if Dave got hurt and couldn't play quarterback any more. I don't know about that Dan Marino from Pitt. No one wants his autograph. Still. Gotta remain positive. I mean if they just gave him a chance, well I bet he'd be just terrific!
